The PIV rating of a crystal diode is _______________ that of equivalent vacuum diode
Correct answer: B. lower than
- A. the same as
- B. lower than
- C. more than
- D. none of the above
Explanation
A crystal diode generally has a lower peak inverse voltage rating than an equivalent vacuum diode because its semiconductor junction is more easily damaged by reverse voltage. Hence its PIV is lower.
